Pool question

I see in the documentation for boost::pool:

``pool is a fast memory allocator, and guarantees proper alignment of all
allocated chunks.''

Since pool does not know the type of object that is being allocated, I
presume this means that it always uses the maximal alignment for each chunk?

I am allocating an array of objects with an initial reference count. Is
there a solution in Boost.Pool for allocating these with minimum permissible
padding? I don't see one.

Thanks,
Dave
